Custom foot orthotics are specialized devices designed to provide support, alleviate pain, and enhance foot function. Tailored to an individual's unique foot structure, custom orthotics work by redistributing pressure, correcting alignment, and providing cushioning where needed. Custom foot orthotics can alleviate a range of issues, including heel spurs, bunions, Achilles tendonitis, metatarsalgia, and tarsal tunnel syndrome. By providing tailored support and pressure redistribution, they also help prevent the progression of these conditions. The purpose of custom orthotics is to improve overall foot biomechanics, enhancing stability and reducing strain on muscles and ligaments. By correcting abnormal foot motion, they help alleviate pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, improving overall mobility and comfort. Individuals who might need custom orthotics include those with chronic foot pain, athletes seeking injury prevention, people with structural foot deformities, and people with specific medical conditions like diabetes or arthritis. If you fit into one of these categories, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist to determine if custom orthotics are the right solution for your needs.

What are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics refer to custom inserts designed for placement in different shoe types, including athletic and formal footwear, with the purpose of alleviating a spectrum of foot-related problems such as flat feet, heel pain, and overall foot discomfort. These inserts are instrumental in providing relief and comfort for a diverse range of foot conditions, including heel pain, and can also act as a proactive approach to injury prevention. 

Medical Grade Shoe Inserts: 

A diverse array of shoe inserts is available for addressing foot pain, heel discomfort, and minor issues. For instance, you can place arch supports in your shoes to rectify overarched or flat feet, and gel and cushioned insoles are frequently chosen for the comfort and relief they provide from foot and heel pain by reducing pressure.
